Education

An independent national service centre for parents of children in state-funded education. They operate a dedicated advice line. The key topics on which ACE can provide further advice, information and support are: exclusion from school, school admissions, special educational needs and all other education-based issues with particular focus on the legal position/rights of parents and how to take unresolved matters further.

Ofsted has launched a website, ParentView, that gives parents in England the opportunity to assess state schools against 12 criteria covering safety, bullying, behaviour, teaching, leadership, homework, pupils progress, and pupils general happiness at the school. They will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect, and when.
